On Even Ground

Desiring a change of pace from your sky-high heels this spring? Look no further than a sweet pair of flatforms! The new cool shape of the season—see: Derek Lam, Michael Kors and 3.1 Phillip Lim—this smooth style promises to give your arches a much-needed break, offering plenty of comfort without sacrificing an ounce of style or height…speechless! My favorite interpretation of the trend? Chanel, of course!

Debuted on the runways as part of Karl Lagerfeld’s surreal spring show, these beauties hit me hard from the moment I first laid eyes on them. Crafted with a caramel wood base and yellow velvet top, they redefine my idea of what I want in a shoe and fill my mind with endless outfit schemes. For example, can’t you envision such funky flatforms as the cherry-topping to a retro-inspired look of a ladylike dress, shoulder bag and cat eye sunnies? Flatform fabulous. xoRZ
